(Officially) straight guys must handle making a movie about gay sex In William Friedkin's much criticized 1980 cop thriller Cruising, which angered many gay activists at the time, then five-time Academy Award nominee Al Pacino plays a cop investigating a bloody murder in New York City's seedy and nasty (but all-too-alluring) Gay S&M Underworld. Having to "pass for" gay in order to do his job the right way, the cop ends up catching the gay virus (nope, not AIDS; just plain kinky and apparently deadly gay-ness) after hanging out at some really hardcore NY clubs.

One of my favorite parts of the Sundance Film Festival is the Park City at Midnight movie line-up. This is where they put on a lot of the horror, sci-fi, comedy and other genre type films. They've also announced the movies that will be a part of the Spotlight and New Frontier sections.
Once again it looks like we've got a lot of solid films to look forward to. Of course there's going to be a few duds in the mix, but for the most part this looks like it's going to be an exciting year at Sundance. I can't wait to watch these movies!
Look over the list, read about the films, and let us know which movies sound interesting to you that you'd like to more know about!

Rising young star, Alice Englert (Ginger & Rosa, Beautiful Creatures), will be heading to the festival in the Park City at Midnight category with Jeremy Lovering’s horror, In Fear, which has a very tense and promising synopsis.
Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers will be getting its long-awaited Us premiere, having debuted at Cannes earlier this year, and been earning critics’ praise ever since. Steve Oram and Alice Lowe co-wrote the film and star in the leads, and with the ever-brilliant Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), there’s...
